More Useful Copper Items

I feel that if we had things like copper shields and copper buckets, it would be a bit easier for newer/beginner players to progress in their world. For example for the bucket, so that there is less to add, the recipe could be the normal bucket recipe but with copper, but add honeycombs or bottles of honey in the bottom corners. As for the shield, It would be the same concept, original shield recipe but with copper, and honeycombs or bottles of honey in the bottom corners.
